When Dares Become Stories

You want me to write WHAT?!

Join me on the last stop of the Sinking Down blog tour: Come Selahway With Me. I’ve written a blog about how stories can grow organically around the simplest of writing prompts, the dare!

The Art of Sinking Down: From Whiteboard to Professional

What a fun post! Sheila Deeth asked for a post on the artwork of Sinking Down, and I decided to compare and contrast my initial whiteboard concept sketches with Bonnie Wasson’s finished professional artwork. Go take a look!

“It Came to Me in a Dream!” The Birth of Sinking Down

It’s true, there was only ever going to be Four ’til Late, and then I had a dream one summer night. That dream was the seed for Sinking Down, which led to Me and the Devil and Blue Spirit and its sequels.

Read all about it at Armand Rosamilia’s blog!

Character Interview: Larry Fisher @ Jess Resides Here

This was the most difficult of the guest blogs on this tour. I was asked by Jess of Jess Resides Here to interview one of my characters, and since I’d already interviewed Gonzo and Lizzie, I decided to give myself a challenge. I sat down in a holding cell with the villain of the piece, Larry Fisher. And he did not appreciate the company:

Lizzie – “I Was in Love With a Ghoul!”

Lizzie – From my Whiteboard Wednesday drawings.

Today on the Sinking Down blog tour, I am a guest on Crymsyn Hart’s blog, “Vampires, Witches, and me, oh my!”. Crymsyn asked me to do a character post, that is, I have one of my characters do the blogging for me. My Lizzie was good enough to step up and save me the trouble of writing something. And of course, she went with the outrageous topic of “I Was In Love With a Ghoul!” because she’s Lizzie. And that’s why she’s everyone’s favorite character in the Road Ghosts books.

I love her too, but there’s something wrong with that girl.
